Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing over 80% silicon
Purer silicon ferrosilicon exceeding 80% Si moves to the higher silicon subheading.
If processed to 99%+ silicon metal
Refined silicon exceeding 99% purity is classified as pure silicon carbide/silicon compounds, not ferroalloys.
If ferrosilicon with ≤55% silicon
Lower silicon content ferrosilicon falls under the ≤55% silicon ferrosilicon subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit spectrometry reports proving low P/S (<0.04%) content, as high-purity specs prevent misclassification as standard grades
• Use ventilated containers to prevent self-heating; temperature certificates required for high-purity grades
